The Bouquets

The bridal bouquet may very well be the only flower you are sure of what you want. Many times brides have in mind what their own bouquet will look like even if they do not have any idea about what the rest of the flowers will be. The bride’s bouquet is generally larger than the bridesmaids, even though it may match in colors and flower types. Choosing wedding party flowers usually starts with choosing the bridal bouquet. Once the bride makes her choice of what to carry the other flowers are usually chosen based upon the original choice.

The bridesmaids also have bouquets just like the bride, but theirs tend to be smaller in size. Many bridesmaids bouquets look very similar to the brides, or at least share some similar attributes. If you want them to be different they should be similar in some way. For instance they could use the same flowers, the same color flowers or the same shape or type of bouquet as the bride’s bouquet. If you want the maid of honors bouquet to stand out, especially if you have a large bridal party, you can make her bouquet larger than the other bridesmaids or unique in some way.

When choosing your wedding party flowers, if you choose to use boutonnieres and want to use them in the traditional way you would choose a rose with a leaf behind it. If you do choose this boutonniere you should remember that this is a large flower. If you want a more contemporary look you could opt for smaller flowers such as an orchid or lavender. Ultimately the choice is yours, although you may find that you get a lot of opinions from the men who will be wearing them. If you are unsure you should talk it over with your florist, they should have more recommendations and be able to show you examples.

If you do decide to use boutonnieres you should try to incorporate something from the bridal bouquet into your final selection. If it is not the same type of flower you can make it the same color. Boutonnieres are worn by the groom, the groomsmen, the ushers, the ring bearer, the father of the bride, the father of the groom as well as any living grandfathers.


The Corsage

Corsages are the wedding party flowers that the mother of the bride, the mother of the groom and the grandmothers wear. Corsages are also a type of flower that some brides choose not to use as they can seem a little outdated. It is not difficult to accessorize boutonnieres with dark colored suits and tuxedo’s but it can be daunting to pick one style of corsage for several woman wearing different colored and styles of apparel for your wedding.
